Today, it's been five days since I started my new job in a new town, and just signed the lease on my new apartment too. Now I find out the company's closing down, and since I'm still on probation, I'm told I'm not entitled to any kind of severance. FML

Probation meaning being new to the company and seeing if they are a good fit to the company, not probation as in OP being a felon. So no, this is not a YDI.

I was working for an electrical company that had many projects on the go. I had been with them for a few years and decided it was time to propose to my 6 year girlfriend. I spoke to the owner making sure there wasn't any layoffs coming soon before I bought the ring and they assured me there wasn't. I bought he ring, proposed and they laid off 3/4's of the company, including myself. Companies are out for themselves and it sucks. I feel your pain OP.
